Wheeling.
Owing to the increase in supply and
| light demand, the butter market has taken
quite a tumble. Eggs are very quiet, and
have also slightly fallen, owing to warmer
weather. Good poultry is scarce with
| prices the same. The demand for apples
| has improved.
The demand for green stuff has become
| better and sales will be larger as prices
settle lower. Good stock is sold
up pretty close to the supply, but
ordinary stun hangs on and is slow selling

ures and all green stun IS home raised, cX-
! ccpt radiShcs, cuCumbcrs, cabbage and
